9 July 2026: The Airdri Group President and CEO Bruce Philipps represented the company at a reception held at St James’s Palace, London yesterday, hosted by King Charles for recipients of the King’s Award for Enterprise.
In May, the Group was named as a recipient of the prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise for Innovation, recognising the Vision Plus product from Formula Systems. It is one of the highest accolades available to UK businesses.
Bruce Philipps: “It was an enormous honour to represent the Airdri Group at St James’s Palace and to be recognised in this way by His Majesty The King. Vision Plus is an internationally renowned, patent-pending product which saves elevator companies time and money and helps keep people safe, and we are proud of it.
“Vision Plus is the result of the hard work and ingenuity of our whole team. Gaining recognition for our engineering excellence and innovation is a testament to them and to the trust our customers place in us every day — in the USA, Canada, South America, Europe and Asia.”
The King’s Award for Enterprise is granted annually to outstanding UK businesses, celebrating excellence in innovation, international trade, sustainable development, and promoting opportunity.
